Why? No particular reason has been given. But The General President needs a pliant Supreme Court
since he is planning to stage-manage his reelection for a further five
year-term and retain the top military rank indefinitely, both in
flagrant violation of the countryâ€™s constitution.

So the outcome is fairly well-known in advance of the event. There is another question, however. Will he get to run as GeneralWar President? I hate to go out on a frozen limb but in my view his chances look good, especially if the nasty little war gets any nastier.
